<h1>*32 of 40 chronically ill have spirochetes in their blood</h1>

<blockquote class="messageText SelectQuoteContainer ugc baseHtml"><strong>Abstract</strong>
<strong>PURPOSE:</strong> The purpose of this study is to investigate whether chronically ill people without known biomarkers (n=40), may have abnormalities in their blood compared to healthy people (n=5).
<strong>
MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> Venous blood is centrifuged to separate plasma and blood cells. The liquid in the area between the plasma and blood cells is sucked up with a pipette. Then it is centrifuged again and finally applied to a glass lens for microscope (dark field), 800 x magnification.

A diagnostic checklist</a> was used with 75 (77 in swedish) questions of symptoms. At least 20 positive answers are believed to increase an active Lyme infection, except in cases erythema migrans occurs (can often sole basis for diagnosis).
<strong>
RESULTS:</strong> In the group of chronically ill were spirochetes detected in the blood of 32 patients (80%) of the 40. None of the healthy subjects showed any abnormalities in the blood. Of the participants, 31 had diagnosis ME/CFS. Spirochetes were detected in the blood of 27 patients (87%).

<strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Spirochetes are very common in some group of patients, especially with diagnosis ME/CFS.
